More about Selin Söder

1. At what age did you start cosplaying and how long have you been cosplaying?

I started cosplaying in 2008 at the age of 17.

2. What inspired you to start cosplaying?

Well I love Anime/Manga since my childhood and a friend of mine started visiting conventions and it sounded like a lot of fun to me so I decided to try it. My first convention was the bookfair in frankfurt, at that time I weared Freya (Chobits) which my mother sewed with me. I had so much fun that I started to do the costumes on my own 🙂
